'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' to Shoot in Hawaii

January 20, 2010 09:55:26 GMT

'On Stranger Tides' will film the scenes in Oahu and Kauai, indirectly boosting the island's tourism industry.

Johnny Depp is set to give Hawaii a major industry and tourism boost - his fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie will be shot there. The islands' Governor Linda Lingle claims the film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", will generate an estimated $85 million.

Making the location announcement on Tuesday, January 19, Lingle revealed "Nine" moviemaker Rob Marshall will direct the film on Oahu and Kauai. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed the news, stating, "We've always sought out the most extraordinary and exotic locations... (and) Hawaii provides an amazing range of both land and seascapes."

It's not the first time the "Pirates" franchise has visited Hawaii - "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was partly shot on Maui and Molokai. It's a big movie year for the islands - Clint Eastwood's new film "Hereafter" and George Clooney's "The Descendants" will both be shot in the state.

The treasure lies beneath Geoffrey Rush’s Captain Barbossa’s pet dragon’s curly gnarly claw. Pirates mate Martin Klebba’s Marty is small of statue but it’s his courage and sword that draw. Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann, Stellan Skarsgard Bootstrap Bill son’s Orlando Bloom Will Turner, follow Bill Nighly’s Captain Davy Jones and Jack Davenport’s Admiral James Norrington and splash with a crash into the Pacific. Hear the Pacific roar about The Informant Hereafter Matt Damon of Bourne The American George Clooney of The Descendants soar into Pacific sailing for the Island of Kauai with Alice in Wonderland Public Enemies Johnny Depp on board Walt Disney Pictures Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides At World’s End hunts for Dead Man’s Chest while on board The Curse of the Black Pearl moored on Hanalei Bay. Stay tuned to the theater of the Pacific, don't leave you might get Disney JJ Abrams Lost. Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean 4, 3, 2, 1, cast and crew are always ready willing an able to start at Director Rob Marshall’s Nine based on the script by Ted Elliott Terry Rossio, novel by Tim Powers. Jay Leno’s Nbc’s Tonight Show, maybe the toast of the town but Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the talk of the town on Kauai. Accompanied by Disney's Abc Lost out to The Greatest Pierce Brosnan’s Mama Mia, Indiana Jones Harrison Ford Brandon Fraser Keri Russell’s Extraordinary Measures for Little Fockers Ben Stiller Museum 3, oh my, light heartedness is a constant theme in Walt Disney Pictures Pirates of the Caribbean 4,3,2,1.
